At our meeting this morning, we divided up flyers for the May 3 workshop and determined who would visit each store/location with them. We discussed the Board of Selectmen meeting and different approaches to building support for our proposal. One person suggested taking the list of registered dog owners and going door to door collecting petition signatures. I am leaning toward sending out a postcard instead - will cost a little more, but will be faster and a lot easier! We also discussed the need for as many of us as possible to write letters to the editor of the Beacon Villager, and I am going to contact the reporter there to discuss a possible story about our work and upcoming events.

Regarding the K9-5K, we are hearing that the police detail will be very expensive if we want to close down some of the roads, so I am going to talk to the Conservation Commission about the possibility of doing the run and walk on town conservation land trails over by Rockland Ave.

On another note, would any of you be interested in getting together for regular (weekly/bi-weekly) group dog walks? Let me know.

Also, we're looking for people who would be willing to record a brief video testimonial about why we need a dog park (see this video for examples). Done right, it could be a good PR and advocacy tool. Contact me if you would like to participate.

Thanks,
Lisa
